Whenever I exit full screen games, I get a BSOD. It happens every time.

I'm able to run full screen games perfectly fine, just not exit them without getting a BSOD. This issue has been going on since last year when I built this PC. I've tolerated it and now I really want to fix it.

I'm running triple monitors at 2560x1440 each.

I have no other issues on my PC. No other crashes or performance issues. Only a consistent BSOD when exiting/closing full screen games.

Video Card: GTX Titan video card. <- latest drivers
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
 
I'd recommend downloading a utility called BlueScreenView, it will help identify what has actually caused the blue screen.
It will look like something below:

Find the latest blue screen you're getting and check what the "Bug Check String" is.. This will tell you what issue has caused the BSOD.
 


There are a bunch of different bug check strings.

For some reason I can't insert an image, so I just put the link.
 
If you haven't already uninstalled the culprits then I recommend using Revo Uninstaller to remove them..
It also removes any files the uninstallation wizard fails to remove, therefore on reinstallation you're guaranteed that it will write all new files as expected.
 
Thanks for the tips. My current situation is this though:

-I've been uninstalling culprits for awhile. I uninstalled Skyrim not too long ago and haven't had a BSOD since, despite reinstalling it, launching it (in full screen) and launching and closing some other full screen games too like the resource hog LA Noire and some others.

I uninstalled the motion joy software as advised.

I did not uninstall the image mounter though. I actually need that for day to day operation.

I will report back here if/when more BSOD occur.
